They set another bold precedent to improve the academic achievement of California’s students. The standards develop the foundation for creative and purposeful expression in language—fulfilling California’s vision that all students graduate from our public school system as lifelong learners and have the skills and knowledge necessary to be ready to assume their position in our global economy."
